Wishbone Kitchen’s Meredith Hayden Shares Delicious Dinner for One Recipe

The creator behind Wishbone Kitchen, Meredith Hayden, just shared a new recipe on her Instagram page and fans are loving it.

In the video, she walks followers through exactly what she makes for herself on a typical night in — proving that a comforting, homemade dinner doesn’t need to be complicated (or expensive).

Hayden captioned the post, “the perils of solo living,” which only made fans love it more for its honesty and humor.

The Recipe:

  • Microwaved white rice
  • Cucumbers marinated in sesame oil and rice vinegar
  • A generous serving of kimchi

The simple combination is fresh, flavorful, and perfect for nights when cooking an elaborate meal for one just isn’t realistic.

Fans were quick to flood the comments with appreciation for the relatable content. “Love how relatable this is 🙌 No one mentions how expensive it can be cooking for one too!” one follower wrote.

Another fan added, “God bless microwave white rice,” while someone else commented, “Please keep this up. I need more living-alone recipe inspo!”

Between the easy prep and budget-friendly ingredients, it’s no wonder followers are turning to Wishbone Kitchen for more single-serving meal ideas.

Other fans commented on their own version of the recipe. One fan wrote, “I would have put the rice in a bowl, add your sides (Korean word is banchan) and top with fried egg. Add avo if you had it. Top with sesame oil and gochujang.” 

Another chimed in writing, “I do the same, but I mix a can of tuna and mayo or avocado with the rice for extra protein, add furikake, eat with nori sheets! Also smash my cucumbers with a knife so they soak up the sauce better, plus it’s therapeutic to smash something with a knife after a long day”.
